August 31, 2025,Gran Sasso Bike Day

From Fonte Cerreto to Campo Imperatore, 2100 meters above sea level. A 27 km climb, closed to traffic, with only the sound of our wheels on the asphalt. An unforgettable day, thanks to the weather, the rugged and wild landscapes that only Abruzzo can offer, and the company of @CiclisticaMente's friends ❤️
